Fiddles for sale

Restoration of old "country" fiddles (i.e., not valuable or historic instruments) usually includes inspecting all glued joints & gluing where needed; repairing cracks; inspecting pegs, end pins, nuts, tailpieces & replacing where necessary; inspecting bridge and refitting or replacing as needed; replacing soundpost.  If the finish is in very bad shape or if a previous refinishing job was badly done, I will sometimes remove the finish, match coloration, shellac, varnish, wet sand, and polish.  I factor-in sound quality when setting a price for a fiddle.  The less-expensive fiddles are fine for student or travel instruments.  All fiddles are in good mechanical shape and sound about as good as they are capable of sounding.
